Now heading south on Hwy 10, this storm cell was building and moving southeast. Meaning I had to catch up to it. Luckily, it was only moving about 10mph so I would see some good strong development on the back side of this storm

Back in Kearney. Underneath of what remained of this supercell in North Central Nebraska. It was dying fast. Though we had a few cells (non severe) forming close to my location as this storm was on the out.

Beautiful Nebraska Stormscapes to end this chase day!

This thunderstorm was becoming more defined as it strengthened.

National Weather Service had a severe warning on this cell as it was slowly moving to the east northeast. As we were east of Minden Nebraska and were finally able to pull out ahead of this cell.

We paused for a few minutes to absorb the moment!

South Central Nebraska, early May 2012. No chasing this day due to work late. Afternoon Storms were predicted that afternoon & evening. Slow movers they were to be.

Off work & I was in luck. The dryline had stalled right over south central Nebraska that afternoon & the explosion of billowing thunderheads erupted. Billowing picturesque Thunderheads. Some of the most photogenic cells I caught in 2012.

Wicked Photogenic Severe Storms developing just to my east and & another batch of developing severe storms right over my head & moving the northeast. What a afternoon of Light & Severe Storms... Click Click Click!!!!

It has been an excellent start to the 2016 chase Season. Bonus was, that I had the day off and no commitments except for storm chasing. I was set for an Epic Day!

I ended up with well over 700 pic from this storm chasing event, but I've skimmed it down to about 100+. Truly this will become some of my best severe weather photography to date...

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had now positioned myself just to the North of Wray Colorado.

Strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... It's all about timing, and I thought it wouldn't produce till it was well west of my location. Giving me that perfect view of the backside rotation of the storm.

In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

You've gotta take the good days with the bad. Not all storm chases are going to be the one for the record books... hence this day.

Nice moderate risk day right on the Nebraska Kansas Border. We were in position again for a good chase but the storms formed just to our north and we stayed put due to guess on where the Cap was going to break that day.

On our way back we had our one chance that day. The cell went severe warned and we were on the back side of it. Nothing spectacular but this was the highlight of the day!

This set of images is what I live for... Those epic moments when you finally hunted/found what your looking for. It does take a lot of patience to storm chase. The waiting, the planning, the doing. But the rewards at the end are priceless. My antlers on the wall.

Now for some storm chasers... the Holy Grail of Storm chasing is a Tornado. But not for me. It is events like this that give the full definition of Storm Chasing. It really what storm chasing Eye Candy is all about! It is the "Why" or the understanding of why I do this!

One the edge of this Nebraska Supercell I felt the AWE of Mother Nature!

In September, Nebraska’s sunsets transform into breathtaking spectacles, amplified by the dramatic presence of thunderstorms and supercells. As summer’s heat begins to wane, the Great Plains remain a hotbed for dynamic weather, with warm, moist air clashing against cooler fronts to create vibrant, fiery skies. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast Nebraska landscape in hues of orange, pink, and purple, often intensified by towering cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds, illuminated by the fading light, glow with an ethereal quality, their edges tinged with gold as the sun’s rays refract through the atmosphere. The open plains offer an unobstructed view, making the interplay of light and storm clouds a daily masterpiece, where the sinking sun seems to set the sky ablaze against the silhouette of distant fields.

For those in rural areas, watching a September supercell at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The air grows heavy with the scent of rain, and the distant rumble of thunder provides a soundtrack to the visual spectacle. Farmers and storm chasers alike pause to witness the sky’s drama, knowing that these storms can bring both vital rain and potential destruction to the region’s corn and soybean fields. The fleeting moments when the sun’s last rays pierce through breaks in the storm clouds create a sense of timelessness, connecting the observer to the raw, untamed spirit of the Plains. In Nebraska, September sunsets paired with thunderstorms and supercells are not just weather events—they’re a vivid reminder of nature’s ability to inspire wonder and respect in equal measure.

Primed and Set for a new year of Chasing Severe Weather throughout Tornado Alley. This was close to home and not a huge jaunt across several states to find those severe storms. Instead this was just really a test run for the real thing coming soon to our neck of the woods.

Pulse storms forming over a marginal risk area for the afternoon. First of the year in fact so the possibility of a few severe storms were not out of the question.

All in all... It was good to get out and dust the cobwebs off the old dslr! Some nice views from North Central Kansas and South Central Nebraska that afternoon and evening!

36 Years ago, with a peaked curiosity, I dove feverishly into the world of storm chasing and well, the rest is history. Fast forward a few years and my current journey in storm photography & videography has unlocked a completely new life that I never imagined would exist. Oh how my adventures continue...

Mother Nature definitely orchestrated her magic on this first storm chase of the season. Warm front had positioned itself right over the state of Nebraska. Pulling in all that warm moist air from the south created the perfect conditions for severe thunderstorm development. I was on the hunt & wouldn't be denied this day.

I got to witness 3 very sculptured Supercells that afternoon.... This was Supercell #2!!!

Was just east of Wilcox & the dirt roads hadn't been rained on yet. (I usually don't travel them anymore if they are) to watch this 2nd Supercell develop.

This is where most say I'm just simply down right nuts.... I had to get closer.

I've done this so many times I don't get nervous at all. Simply stating. I know what is safe & what is not. If you want the good pics / video. You gotta get into the action... but do is safely. Again Storm chasing isn't for everyone. But for me its what I do best!

I've been waiting... & I've had some opportunities to chase the past few systems that came through eastern Nebraska. But I didn't. Time factors & distance would have put me back home about 4:30am. I'm getting older... my bio-clock wasn't going to let me chase those storms.

Watching all the freak'n incredible pics every year, come across my feed from other chasers across the nation. Just some phenomenal storm photography already in 2023. I finally get to get a few snaps of some weak storms out that evening. At least it is a start.

I have to be patient & wait till late April to mid May to see anything of photographic significance come into play into south central Nebraska & north central Kansas. I'm not the only one noticing that 2023 has been weary of our normal moisture flow this time of year. Its has been rather dry & the drought here continues. Especially Western & South Central Nebraska this year.

I was glad to blow the dust of the old cam & get a few snaps of this evenings storm. Non Severe as it passed through south central Nebraska this evening. It sure was photogenic. Bet the farmers were enjoying what rain we did get out of this system.

Unpacked and gear out close to home as a non severe thunderstorm approached from the due south of Kearney Nebraska. Just on the outskirts of the city just to the east of Kearney High school .

A few pics that didn't make it to my Flickr Photostream in 2020. So I'm adding them now.

I do so much sky photography and at that time of year when I take these, they sometimes get lost within the fold. So at the end of each year I find a few that are worthy of being posted!

This Day's pressure cooker was in session. Lot's of gulf moisture to play with. With that in mind, Mother Nature had some plans for us that afternoon. Of Course, I was prepared. Knew this situation was going to give us some excellent severe weather views that afternoon. I was on the Hunt!

Alerts & Alarms were firing right after 2:00pm as I headed west from Kearney. Severe Thunderstorm warnings had been issued to my southwest by Arapahoe & Holdrege Nebraska. Coming directly from Furnas & Phelps Counties this storm was packing a heavy punch for October.

Pulled up & onto 1 of the bluffs just north of Elm Creek Nebraska. Nice view over the Platte Valley as this nasty bugger came to play! Would eventually catch 2 tornadoes this day... Which is rare. Glad I had the time to capture this event! It was a Hoot!

Late evening on hot and humid August evening in Nebraska. Warnings popped up about an hour before this storm was even visible to the eye over the horizon at sunset.

Spectacular Colors emitting from this stacked supercell. Cloud to Cloud Lightning shooting off every few seconds made this a storm chasers dreamscape.

Gear in hand that evening I traveled north out of Odessa Nebraska. Now about 2 miles to the east of Amherst Nebraska. This storm was strengthening and moving almost due south, southeast, meaning it was coming right at my location.

It would be a Historic Event to capture! Now remastered to the original color with no enhancements. Enjoy!

*** Personal Note ***

January 2020

It has been awhile since I have come back to this set of images.

Original Set of Images can be found here on Flickr

This set of images is and still has been the most stolen set of images I have on the web on several platforms. Literately millions of views with no link back to my work or my photostream. Probably why I haven't revisited this set til now.

Just to let you know, those images were WAY over processed, over saturated etc. Yes I'm guilty. But it was the way I did things back then. I don't anymore.

Every year I go back and edit a few sets of images that deserve to be re-edited or reprocess from raw. I'm also adding several images from this set I didn't share last time around.

Beautiful storm photography from my best of 2014 Collection!

*** Personal Note *** Every Year... the 1st Storm of Every Year... I get a visit from the Old Man in the Storm.... Can You See Him?

I've learned a few valuable lessons over the years of chasing severe weather. One of them is to be extremely cautious of the dirt & dust that is kicked up in the early storms of the season. I spend hundreds of $$$ on keeping my lens clean. I should say lenses since I have multiple cams. Meaning I don't get my cams out for the dirt. Yes its going to happen but not again on the first storms of the year... Please note that you can see the haze of the dirt flying in on the back side of the storm it was nasty.

It was good to see the return of the first storms of the season here in South Central Nebraska. This was the same system that produce all those tornadoes in Iowa, but this was the day before. (Someone messaged me & asked why I wasn't chasing Iowa) Real reason is its Way East... Ya I could have gone but I had some other responsibilities & want to save the $ for fuel for later chase dates... There will be more storms!

While the rest of the US has seen its share of severe weather this springtime 2023. Nebraska has a very limited amount of nice weather, let alone nicer temps as spring approaches. Just last week we had a winter squall come through with 6 inches of snow. So yes there was snow still on the ground in a few places as temps reached 70 here for the first time this year.

I need to get out & grasp a few snaps before the haboob swept over the city. (Dust Storm)

Officially my first of 2023, can't wait to see what's next!

Early September 2023...

Gear Packed & Primed! Drove west from Kearney out to Lexington Nebraska area. Once the warnings started to fire out in West Central Nebraska. It was time to do my thing. It was to see one of the last supercells of the summer of 2023 & I wasn't gonna miss out. This truly had incredible, beautiful structure. Was tornado warned & had all the right elements for what I do.

No I didn't see a Tor-nader that day. I got a few snaps of what I think was a wall cloud to the cell northwest of my location.

I was there for the structure & I got those incredible snaps... It is what I came for!

*** PERSONAL NOTE***

I travel a lot of roads LESS TRAVELED than most in Nebraska due to what I do. After the Lexington Nebraska event.. I had to shoot back a few miles due my proximity to the storm.

As I traveled west then south from Overton Nebraska .. Via Nebraska Road "748" heading west. My normal spot was taken due to harvesting from the farmers. Cows were in my favorite spot. So a drove a few miles to the west. I had been by here about 1000+ times but never realized there there was an historical marker here.

So unknowingly, as I pulled into this little area with no power-lines I found a new place to take snaps but it has some historical value. Thought I would add this link for those of you that are curious about this Famous Nebraska Historical Marker.

Sometimes... there are those epic moments...

When the sky is so captivating you gaze in its wonder...

Camera in hand... Pointing due south from Kearney Nebraska... A surreal view of some amazing mammatus clouds. Strong Cells bordering the Nebraska Kansas Border, moving northeast into south central Nebraska.

Hail core was right on top of my location. Big stones this time with over quarter sized hail. Already broke my windshield this day in 2 places... didn't want a 3rd. Had to pack up my gear and headed south to Benkelman Nebraska.

This severe warned storm cell was moving almost due south. I had positioned myself again in front of the advancing outflow.

There is something special about the landscape in southwest Nebraska. More wheat fields than corn. It was surreal. Especially with this incredible structure on this storm.

I really enjoyed the photographic opportunities this day....Some of my best storm chasing photography for 2016! Enjoy!

Unpacked and gear out close to home as a non severe thunderstorm approached from the due south of Kearney Nebraska. Just on the outskirts of the city just to the east of Kearney High school .

A few pics that didn't make it to my Flickr Photostream in 2020. So I'm adding them now.

I do so much sky photography and at that time of year when I take these, they sometimes get lost within the fold. So at the end of each year I find a few that are worthy of being posted!

First moderate risk day of the year out in Western Nebraska. We decided to head out early to catch the action.

Was trying to Twitch Stream (streaming link down below) our chase this day, though my HD camera decided otherwise. Had many technical glitches that afternoon and I'm happy mishaps happen on the first chase of the year. Prepares the next adventure without failure.

First storm erupted north of Grant Nebraska but I was messing around with the live feed and didn't take any snaps... put the problems aside and moved north to Ogallala Nebraska to catch this dying cell.

Not many pics in this set but was caught was worth every second to get out of the house for a few hours!

South of Shelby Nebraska, and I was sitting along the side of this developing cell the entire length of Hwy 69 south. Had to move back under this cell to get Hwy 15 and due south again to get along side of this next cell which would have some serious rotation and a tornado warning on it before the night was through...

But I did stop...

and took in this Moment!

Severe warnings just to the west of Lexington Nebraska on a Sunday eve...shortly after 9pm... what more could I ask for!

Way past sunset and I had all the equipment ready to go. Jaunted out to a few miles west of the city to get set up for a intense night of storm photography & videography.

This ended up being the best photogenic storm of April 2019 and I didn't have to chase it as it came to me! How sweet is that! April Storm Chasing Eye Candy!

October 19, 2021 - Kearney Nebraska US

I couldn't believe it... Another late night storm and this one was brief but packed a punch and some nice lightning as it passed to the northwest of Kearney

Usually by this time in any year here in Nebraska our storm season is way over. Not that way in 2021. Our severe weather pattern stayed active all the way til late December 2021.

I was seriously late the game on this storm. But I was never out of the game. I had missed a few of the other tornados that afternoon in Northern Yuma County. Coming from south to north I had to position myself correctly. Chaser Convergence was also in full swing so there were not may open areas to choose from.

For best pics of a Tornado and to be safe about it a storm such as this was moving North by Northeast... strategically, you want to be to the south east, southwest for the best light... Behind the RFD (Rear Flank Downdraft) It's all about timing, and I honestly didn't think it would produce a tornado til it was well west of my location. That was going to be the wrong guess... Though when I went due north of Wray I had a good viewing point but not in the safest location as you see.

I got lucky this day as...In my opinion, I found a perfect view, looking due south southeast. I ended up on the northwest side of the rotation. Dangerous yes...but this will eventually give me one excellent view of this tornado and all her glory.

Staying as safe as I could I wouldn't bail till it was about a mile away then I would head north again to a safer / better viewing position.

October 1, 2017 - Between Stockton & Glade Kansas, US

It was my last hurrah for 2017.

Hwy 183 Northbound..

It took some time, and I didn't waste any to get back into position.

The winds were ferocious. I couldn't keep a steady shot. I jimmy rigged it and finally got it steady enough in the wind to get these final shots of the year.

It was worth my time and effort this day. Some of my best to end the 2017 Storm Chasing Season.

Part of a severe weather system moving northeast out of North Central Kansas. These late afternoon Supercells developed under the perfect conditions. They were in photographic range just to the Southeast of Buffalo County. Sculptured cumulus thunderheads were way to good to pass up that afternoon.

Torrential heavy downpours, hail up to 1/2 dollar size and 3 confirmed tornadoes in Adams & Hall counties just to the east of Kearney Nebraska.

This cell was really taking good shape. It was tightening with visible rotation. Plus with both storms now centering in on my location, I had to either get packed up and move to another location farther south or stay here just take in the show.

The road network isn't the best for making fast moves south due to the Interstate & Platte River less than 3 miles to my south. Next exit was about 4 miles to my west & that would have put be right under this storm.

The finial decision was easy. I was already set up & was going to stay the course til it forced me to leave.

These next 24 hours would very interesting. I was in the 100% Totality Zone for the solar eclipse the next day. So the camera was ready. Snagged it from the charger and I was off.

Had to work in about an hour. Of course I was waiting most of the afternoon for these storms to come closer and they eventually did...

A few wicked good lightning shots captured that evening!

A few kewl cloudscapes presented itself as I was getting my bearings on what cells to follow since nothing was severe.

Storm cells were redeveloping to my southwest but I only had a few hours till I had to work. I would eventually head east then back to Hwy 136 west...

A few final surreal shots from that evening's drive back home. There is no place like Nebraska!
